now, what we want to do is just go to a little bit of sound from homeland security secretary janet napolitano talking about these issues that people in boston are debating right now. let's listen. >> we have been collecting video from a variety of sources. as you might imagine at the finish line of the boston marathon, there's -- there's lots and lots of video. there is some video that has raised the question of those that the fbi would like to speak with. i wouldn't characterize them as suspects under the technical term. but we need the public's help in locating these individuals. >> so typically in cases like these, of course, the big question is whether releasing video, releasing pictures of individuals at the scene of crimes will hinder or help the investigation. and certainly that is what's going into this right now. authorities on the ground in boston telling me no decision has been made, but they are weighing releasing the pictures. chris? >> it's a tough question, joe, because on the one side of the scale, you have -- it could be tremendously helpful. someone could see them. there's a

today, senators were asking secretary janet napolitano about the older brother's trip to russia in 2012 because it appears intelligence agencies were aware he had left the country, but they didn't know that he had returned to the united states. take a listen. >> you said, i think to senator grassley, that the older brother, the suspect who was killed, when he left to go back to russia in 2012, the system picked up his departure, but did not pick up him coming back. is that correct? >> that's my understanding. i can give you the detail in a classified setting, but i think the salient fact there, senator, is that the fbi text alert on him at that point was more than a year old and had expired. >> it is interesting that the secretary says the salient fact is that the investigation had already been closed into him, by the time he came back. well, salient, also troubling. let's bring in former cia operative and cnn analyst bob baer. help us make some sense of this. the concern is that there was a slip, right? that this was someone you should have had eyes on, and you didn't. what does it mea
